AS DO I

The hospice nurse and I went out to admit “Lisa” to hospice.  Lisa was diagnosed with brain cancer two years ago.  Although he has undergone chemotherapy and radiation, her tumor is growing and has spread.  Lisa is widowed and has two sons.  Both boys live nearby and are very attentive to their mother. 

The plan is for Lisa to move into her son “Jason’s” home tonight in order for her to have the care she needs.  It was so beautiful how much her two sons were so devoted to their mother.  Lisa had a great sense of humor which had us all laughing.  Her humor triggered my humor which also made her laugh as well.  I felt so connected to her from the start. 

Her personality was a lot like mine as were her strong beliefs.  We spoke about spirituality as were both on the same page.  It was wonderful.  She then would bring up past stories of her life that would make us all laugh. 

I hope our paths will cross again; either here on Earth, or yes, maybe on the other side.  “See you later Lisa”.

AS DO I

 

The moment we walked into her home,

she snatched me with her humor.

She believes humor is so important;

                    as do I.

 

We had so much in common.

Growing up near each other;

attending Catholic Church and school;

but now spirituality is what we both believe.

 

She spoke about her dying without any fears.

“I believe it will be limitless love.

Whether it is true or not;

                   it is comforting to believe.”

 

I felt so connected with her.

She spoke words that I would use.

She believes strongly what I so believe.

Why have not we met before?

 

She then shared her thoughts with me;

“We have definitely been in past lives together.

We think alike and we are alike.

We are so on the same route.”

 

She believed her words so strongly

which was such a comfort to me.

She knows that our paths will cross again;

                    as do I.
